Abstract: 

On September 21, 2020, the Jerusalem District Court ruled Malka Leifer, a former educator who is accused of sexually abusing several former students, can be extradited to Australia on charges of child sex abuse. Leifer has fought extradition from Israel since 2014. The length of the extradition proceedings have strained relations between Israel and Australia.[1]
